Synopsis

Timmy wishes he was older so he could do "grown-up stuff." After Cosmo and Wanda grant his wish, they find out something horrible- da rules state that fairy god parents can only grant wishes to kids. Even so, Cosmo and Wanda follow grown-up Timmy around in his first day of being a grown up...which, as Timmy discovers, isn't as much fun as it looks like. Wanda suggests that Timmy eat some adult food at a upper-class restaurant. Timmy eats $265 worth of food before he realizes his parents aren't there to pay for him. Later, Timmy goes to the movies to see an adult movie, and finds his parents kissing each other there. Tired, Timmy goes home, but Vicky, not recognizing Timmy, kicks him out, so he has to sleep on the football field bleachers at his school. In the morning, Timmy wakes up and finds the school bully picking on his friends. Timmy tries to make the bully "quit it," but Francis starts crying when he sees some police officers walking by, so Timmy is thrown in jail. Timmy decides he might be able to turn into a kid if he acts like one....then Cosmo and Wanda find out they are being reassigned. Timmy starts crying for his parents, thus turning him into a kid again. He is finally let out of jail- and gets his wonderful God parents back.
